摘要
全球经济网络化和国际网络组织的发育,使网络学习成为海外子公司获取东道国资源和国际竞争优势的重要路径。本文在深入研究社会网络、社会资本和网络学习效应的基础上,研究了"网络位置"对海外子公司决策和资源获取的影响,引进了"位置嵌入"重要概念。以此为基础,将基于社会嵌入的"关系—结构"网络理论拓展为强调位置嵌入的"关系—位置—结构"网络理论,并提出了"社会资本四维构成"和"社会资本与东道国网络学习效果关系"的假设。问卷调查123家跨国公司在华子公司,运用结构方程模型实证检验,结果表明:社会资本由结构资本、位置资本、关系资本、认知资本等四个维度构成;海外子公司在东道国网络的结构资本、位置资本、关系资本、认知资本与网络学习效果存在显著的正相关关系。据此,中国公司海外子公司应重视在东道国网络的位置嵌入,争取东道国网络的结构资本、位置资本、关系资本、认知资本等社会资本,提高网络学习效果,以此获取东道国更多资源和提高国际竞争力。
The networking of world economy and development of international network organization make network learning become an important access for foreign subsidiaries acquiring resources in host country and international competitive advantage. On the basis of deeply researching social network, social capital and network learning effect, this paper analyzes the impacts on the decision-making and resources acquisition of foreign subsidiaries from network location and proposed the important concept of ＂locational embeddedness＂, thus developing the ＂relationship-location-strncture＂ theory emphasizing locational embeddedness from ＂relationship- structure＂ theory based on social embededdness. It then further developed a quadruple-dimensional hypothesis of social capital and hypothesis of relationship between social capital and network learning performance in the hosting countries. Sampling the 123 Chinese subsidiaries of the foreign companies, the empirical studies show that： social capital is composed of cognitive, relational, locational and structural capitals; the four kinds of capitals owned by the overseas subsidiaries in the network of host country are found to be significantly and positively related to the network learning performance. So Chinese foreign subsidiaries should pay attention to the locational embeddedness in that they can improve network learning performance, acquire more resource in host country and advance international competence.
